The steroid version of the Chemical to perform in Comp.

Presentation

The Evolt is the doped-up version ofthe Chemical to perform in Competition.

A true emanation of our bestselling Shortboard, the Evolt is more radical but oriented for waves in the lower range of the Chemical. We are clearly in the ultra performance for daily waves conditions.

The hard lines in the back of the OFO gives it more acceleration and shorter curve radiuses. But the tail is very close to the Chemical so it finishes the turns cleanly without dragging a big butt around. So, we have more width at the lateral Fins and ditto at the tail: the mania is boosted, as the acceleration.

The work on the hull is important: single concave, very pronounced under the front foot, and double concave in front of the lateral, to finish up in V starting at the back foot. The rail-to-rail passage is instinctive and ultra-lively. And this heavily marked V gives optimum water release for throwing spray.

The Evolt has a rocker that’s more accentuated in the nose than the Chemical. This curve releases the nose in the turns but also when preparing for heavy projections. You can really tighten up the curves at will.

This is the Shortboard to lay it on the line when competing!

Ideal Waves

Size: knee to waist up to a man sized.
Strength: it gives its best in “small” conditions.
Type: it goes everywhere.

How to properly glue your pads?

The question of the pad often comes down to an aesthetic choice for the look of your board. But what seems like luxury to non-pros is actually a huge help.
If surfing is the art of placement then you need to put your feet properly on the board. And what better than a touch marker to know, ok, I’m at the sweet spot for this turn.?

Sticking good pads is therefore essential. They will signal to your feet whether they are in the perfect position or not.
You still have to stick them properly, and some get very creative…
